B is for Belligerence

A wormy dog or cat can be aggressive so de-worm regularly.  Also cutting back on protein may be advantageous.  Turkey is the most calming meat.Dogs can also be given a vegetarian mix like Happydog which may help to calm them down.

 

Homoeopathically:  Hyoscyamus and staphisagria are two of the best remedies for aggressive, territorial dogs and cats.

 

Herbally: The most calming herbs are valerian and skullcap.  Bach’s Rescue Remedy can be given to the victim of the intimidation.
